Having before its eyes, therefore, the good ex- ample of our predecessors, and desirous, by 1mi- toting them, of fulfilling the duties of the supreme apostolate; pressed, besides, to follow the move- ments of our heart for that portion of the Lord’s vineyard, we proposed to ourselves, from the com- mencement of our pontificate, to pursue a work that was so well begun, and to apply ourselves in the most serious manner to favor every day the developement of the church in this kingdom. For thie reason, considering as a whole the state of Catholicism in England, reflecting on the con- siderable number of Catholics, which keep still increasing, remarking that every day the obstacles are falling off which stood in the way of the ex- tension of the Cathohe religion, we have thought that the time was come when the form of eccle- siestical government should be resumed in Eng- lend, such as it exists, freely exists, in other notions, where no particular cause necessitates the minietry of vicareapostolic. We have thought that, by the progress of time and things, it was no longer necessary to have the English Catholics roverned by viears-apostolic, but, on the contrary, that the changes which had already been made necersitated the ordinary form of episcopal govern- ment We have been confirmed in these thoughts by the desires expressed to us by the vicarsapostolic im England, as well as by numbers of the clergy and nity distinguished, by virtue and rank, and by the wishes of the great majority of Engksh Catho- lies. In maturing this dewgn we have not failed to implore the aid of the Almighty and Most Gracious Ged, end that he would grant us grace in this weighty affuir to resolve upon that which should be meet suitable to angment the pi rity of the church, We have further besoug’ ‘istance of the bleseed Virgin Mary, Mother of Go of the saints, whose virtues have made | gia lus irious, that they would deign to obtain by their in- tercession with Ged the happy success of this enter- prise. We hi ce commended the whole busi- neve to the grave and serious consideration of our ver erable, brothers the cardinals of the holy Romaa church, forming our congregation for propagating the faith. These sentiments Paving been found com- pletely conformeble to ourown, we have resolvedto saverion them, end carry them iato execution. [tis for this reason, after having'weighed the whole mat- ter meet ecrupulously, that of own proper mo- tion, in Our certein knowledge, and in the plenitude of car apostolic power, we have resolved and do hereby decree the re-establishment in the kingdom of England, and according to the conmmon laws of the ehureh, of a hierarchy of bishops, deriving their Utlh-« from their own sees, which we constitute by the preeent letter in the various tolic districts To commence with the district of London, it will form two eees—to wit, that of Westminster, whic! we hereby elevate to the metropolitan of archi copal dignity, and that of Southwark, which we esepn to it es cufiregan, together with those which we proceed toindicate. The diocess of Westmin- eter will elude that portion of the aforesaid dis trict which extends to the banks of the Thames, end comprehends the counties of Middleses, Es vex. and Hertfordshire; that of Southwark, on the south of the Thames, will include the counties of | Beds, Southampton, Sarrey, Sussex, Kea | with the fi of Wight, Jersey, Guernsey, an others adjacent. Io the northern district there | will be but one episeopal eee, which will take ite name from the town of a and | for its cireumecription that of the existing district.

In the east- ern district there will be one see, which will take its name from the town of Northampton, and re- tain the present circumscription of the district, ex- cept the counties of Lincoln and Rutland, which we have assigned to the diocess of Nottingham. Thus, in the very flourishing kingdom of Eng- land, there will be one single ecclesiastical pre- vince, with one azpbbiehop ead twelve suffragans, whose zeal and pastoral labors will, we hope, by the grace of God, bring new and daily increase to the power of Catholicism. For this reason we reserve to ourselves and successors the right to divide this province into several, and to increase the number of its bishoprics as new ones may be required, and in general to setttle their boundaries as it may ap- pear meet before the Lord. Meanwhile, we enjoin the archbishop and bishops to furnish at stated seasons reports of the state of their churches to our congregation of the Propagan- da, and not to omit informing us on all points con- cerning thespiritual good of their flocks. We shall continue to avail ourselves of the aid of the con- gregation of the Propaganda in all that concerns the affairs of the {church in Evgland. But inthe sacred government of the clergy and peeple, and all which concerns the pastoral office, the arch- bishop and_ bishops of England will enjoy all the rights and faculties which ops and archbishops can use, according to the disposition of the sacred canons and the apostolic consti‘utions, and they will likewise be equaily bound by all the obliga- tions to which other bishops and arehbishops are pela by the common discipline of the Catholic ureh. Their rights and duties will not be in any c impaired by any thing that is at present in vigor, whether originating in the former form of the English church, erin the subsequent missions in- stituted in virtue of special constitutions, privileges, or customs, now that the same state of things no longer exist. And in erder that no doubt may re- main, we suppress, in the plenitude of our wer, and entirely abrogate,all the obligatory and Jaridical force of the said special constitutions, pri- vileges, and customs, however ancient their date. ‘The archbishop and bishops of England will thus have the integral power to regulate all that bel to boa age sipee Ke eee lew, ot Ime are it to the authority isheps e ert discipline of the fai As for ima aout" ease edly they shall never have to complain that we do not suctain them by our apostolical authority, and we shall always be happy to second their demands all which appears calculated to promote the glo- io Ged the good of souls.

We present our readers this morning,'with short descriptions of the several buildings occupied by the United States government in this city, namely: the Custom. House, the Bonded Warehouse, the Public Store, the Post Office, the Revenue Barge Office, and the United States Circuit and District Courts. CUSTOM HOUSE. This edifice stands on four streets, running back from Pine to Wall street; has three fronts—one on the former street, another on Nassau, and the third on Wall street. The order of architecture is Doric, being built after a model of the Parthenon, at Athens; and its general dimensions, as com pared with the Greek temple, are as elever to twelve, the Parthenon being the largest of the two. The size of the Custom House in plan is 90 feet on each front and 178 feet, on the flank, and its extreme length is 192 feet. _It has eight co- lumns across its fronts, each column being}five fee’ eight inches in diameter at the bottom, and their height is 31 feet. The height of the entablature is 13 feet, above which, on the flanks, is set a range of antefixe, making a beautiful crown enrichmen upon the eaves, while each geparate ornament forms the foot block or base of the saddle-courses for the marble roof. The superstructure rests upon a stylobate, which embraces the basement story, 13 feet high, and be- jJow the basement there is a cellar 8 feet deep, ex- of Madame Anna Bishop.
